A lot of times original equipment manufacturers make the best for your car when you go and get something that submarket it's not going to work as well as it would getting it from the dealership so that's probably where your problem lies the one from the dealership works the one from AutoZone or O'Reilly's does not work

If the old sensor is good, why are you changing it? Are you using quality parts? With any sensor, I try to check sensor wiring circuits before changing parts.

SOURCE: 98 windstar 3.8litre runs very

probably both banks are running lean it just hasnt flagged a code for bank2 yet.
sounds like a vacuum leak, with it running listen closely in the engine compartment try to locate it.
also you can use choke cleaner and spray around the intake manifold
and try to locate the leak.
be careful choke cleaner is flamable.

SOURCE: 2002 gmc 2500 panel van......engine stalls....code was to change cam sensor....vehicle is fine after sensor is changed however after driving for a few hours , problem of stalling returns,cam sensor ha

Have the crank sensor checked, some times a generic scan tool or code reader will pull a code but list cam sensor and then when code is read with a gm tool it reads crank sensor, can you give me the code #?
you may also have a wiring problem to cam sensor or faulty ecm or bcm. ( computer) engine control module) good day
but still have the crank tested ,good day

SOURCE: 2000 gmc jimmy won't start changed fuel pump cam sensor? could it be emc?

Start with the passlock security system. It includes the ignition key, ignition switch, and passlock module undder the dash. Had the same problem. It was the security system shutting off the fuel to the injectors after the initial start but dies in one second. VERY common problem fo GM and chevy.

2005 Dodge Ram 1500 4.7 Engine. Starts fine, Idles fine, but when engine shifts into high gear and RPM lowers engine runs really rough under load

Have you checked for a broken valve spring. Repaired a dodge engine with the same running issue as you have described and it was a broken intake valve spring.

I have a 2007 jeep patriot. It stalled at stop sign started ran rough. Parked came back drove it home ran u- scan code p0017 replaced crank and cam sensors still runs rough changed plugs were bad. I was...

code p0017 refers to crank/ cam oosition sensor bank 1 sensor B -correlation ===causes --wiring--CKP sensor--CMP sensor--mechanical fault.
It also refers to control modules, cooling fan--no signal===causes -- wiring--ECM.
If it has a timing chain then the the advice that it will not be the chain is good. So I suggest checking out the cam/ crank sensors and wiring

96 T100 (3.4), will only run for 2-3 seconds then quit, change fuel filter, pump, cam sensor and crank sensor still won't run, but will run on ether. Where to go next?

What you are telling me is the engine is firing the plugs but not getting fuel.
When you changed the fuel pump and filter, did you check the fuel pressure at the rail ?
Are the injectors getting power and ground pulse ??

I have recently changed the cam shaft sensor on my 98 a4 2.8 quattro the car was running great before the replacement. After replacement when car heats up, poor idle and 1,2,3 bank a multiple misfire code...

Do you still have the old sensor. I am not suggesting that you change it back but it might be useful for comparison. The length of the sensor and it's distance between it's tip in relation to the cam teeth is critical; a couple of millimetres can make all the difference. Obviously make sure any electrical connection is clean and tight. Why did you replace the old sensor? I know that occasionally the sensor body can leak allowing engine oil to enter the wiring loom and even when the sensor is replaced the oil can continue to travel within the cable and can lead to signal interruption when it gets into the socket at some distance from the sensor. Check for brittle insulation of the wiring loom. If all else fails try reinstalling the old cam sensor and see if there is an effect on engine performance. You never know you might have come across a defective part although quite new. Cam sensors are renowned for presenting faults only when they get warm, this is caused by thermal expansion of the sensor body causing a break internally to the sensor electrical circuit.
